Travelers arriving in Phoenix aboard a Boeing 737 MAX 8 Tuesday afternoon weren't overly concerned over news that the jets were being grounded in the wake of a deadly Sunday crash in Ethiopia that was similar to another a few months before in Indonesia.

Other major countries had already decided to stop flying the aircraft. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump ordered the jets grounded in the United States, saying those flights that were in mid-air would complete their flights then remain grounded.

Southwest Airlines flight 322 from Houston Hobby Airport was scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. arrival at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, on one of the 737 MAX 8 jets.

Some passengers exiting the flight said they were not overly concerned.

"I didn't even put two-and-two together," said Megan Tenorio. "The man sitting next to me brought it up, but I didn't even think much about it."

Tenorio flies multiple times a year and wasn't aware of the controversy surrounding the Boeing jets until it was brought to her attention.

A similar sentiment was shared by other passengers.

“There has been so much news about it, but we weren't overly concerned. It's honestly a little overblown.”

"There has been so much news about it, but we weren't overly concerned," said Tom Peterson, who was traveling with his wife, Mary. "It's honestly a little overblown."

Mary Peterson added she "felt confident" with the pilots and "had no need to worry."

In a statement released by Southwest, the company stated, "The Safety of our Customers and Employees is our uncompromising priority, and today's action reflects the commitment to supporting the current investigations and regulatory concerns."

The high winds in Phoenix Tuesday created a bit of a bumpy ride approaching Sky Harbor, but passengers still felt at ease.

"There was some turbulence, but I knew it was because of the weather and not because of any mechanical issues," said Tenorio. "I knew I had no reason to worry."
